An Absolute Classic!

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2011)

I only just recently watched 'The Longest Day', i thought to myself, this was made in 1962, Im only 22 years old, its bound to be awful compared to the new technology influenced war films I'm used to seeing?.... Absolutely not. This is an absolute gem of a film, telling an in-depth story of the invasion of Normandy in World War 2.
It tells the story from two fronts, the Allied forces and the Nazi side. Its packed full of action, brilliant acting and some comedy moments. To be honest i sat watching it, hoping it wasn't going to end.
If your into your War films, don't miss out on this one. I can pretty much guarantee it will rank high up in your all-time list of great war films.
